The gluten-free menu has three bowls loaded with healthy ingredients. The green bowls are a mix of dark leafy greens with vegetables and scratch made dressings; the grain bowls are filled with organic whole grains; and the broth bowls are made with either bone or vegetable broth. There’s creativity galore with options like a spicy ginger steak green bowl with shredded kale and a broccoli cheddar vegetable broth bowl with cauliflower purée. Power plates with protein, vegetables and sides are also on the menu for those who “don’t do salads.” Vegans also have options to choose from.

The Farmingdale location is the tenth CoreLife Eatery in New York State. (The first opened in Syracuse in 2015.) Mansfield, the brand’s chief culture officer, praised the location situated in Airport Plaza right off of Route 110.

“There are many nearby businesses and institutions (like health clubs, gyms, yoga studios and medical offices) that are frequented by people who live an active lifestyle, which make this area a perfect fit for our brand,” he said.

It took nearly 12 weeks to renovate the 3,300-square-foot facility, which formerly housed Noodles and Company. The brand plans to open another Long Island location in Garden City later this year.
